Whether or not you buy from Tire Rack their tests are very informative. See https://www.tirerack.com/tires/test...l-3-performance-5-uhpas-tires-tested?ttid=355 I have the Continental DWS06+ on two of the family cars now and love them. I am glad that they were included because they saved my bacon once in a hard braking maeuver on the New Jersey Turnpike.

I hope that some of you EV owners will chime in here. My humble PHEV came with Michelin Energy Savers which are the darling of the California Prius crowd. Quite frankly I hate them because their traction is just terrible.

I've come to appreciate the TireRack tire tests. They provide good hard data and valid subjective info. The BFG's I have on my X-Type were perfectly described. Got them in spite of the TR test, as Costco had 'em cheeeeep. And truth be told, they have been pretty good once half the squirmy tread disappeared.
 
I believe the Conti Extreme Contact came on our '18 M3 Mid Range RWD; great rubber.
Pirelli P-Zero came our '24 M3P, they are good rubber. @edyvw and @Trav recommended the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S summer tire and boy were they right. Dang car thinks its a 911 with AWD. Rock solid planted and Uber flat handling. Head and shoulders over the P-Zeros. And they come in a Tesla EV rating now.

I have the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season tires on our 2006 Acura TSX. Highly recommended. Perhaps if we lived in a 4 season climate, the AS rubber might make better sense all around than the summer tire. But the PS4S is the champion in my book.

Still rolling on the OEM Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4s on my Model Y Performance with 45,000+ miles.

They’ve been great and I’m debating on them or a cheap Chinese tire to see how they compare.
